State Employment and Expenditure for Results Project

closed

The objective of the State Employment and Expenditures for Results Project for Nigeria is to enhance opportunities for employment and access to socio-economic services, while improving public expenditure management systems in the participating states. There are three components to the project, the first component being youth employment and access to socio-economic services. The objective of this component is to provide support to activities that promote employment and access to socioeconomic services in the participating states. The second component is the public financial management reforms. The component will also support the development of social accountability mechanisms in key areas such as planning, budgeting and public procurement and will involve the public in the oversight for use of public resources. Finally, the third component is the project implementation support and coordination, including providing logistical and technical support to National Project Coordination Unit (NPCU) and State Project Coordination Unit (SPCUs), and support the federal ministry responsible for Niger delta affairs.
